Ingolf Lindau received his Ph.D. from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1971 from the Department of Physics. He was on an industrial fellowship with Varian Associates in its analytical instrument division in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, 1971-72. Since 1972 he has been associated with Stanford University with a Full Professorship since 1980. In 1990 he also joined Lund University in Sweden as a Professor of Synchrotron Radiation Research.
Professor Lindau's research has been focused on the electronic and structural properties of semiconductor surfaces and interfaces, and highly correlated materials and functional oxides. He was instrumental in building up the first beamlines at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Light Source (SSRL) and did pioneering work in applying synchrotron radiation to photoemission studies of valence bands and core levels in the soft x-ray spectral region. He also contributed to the advancement of beamline instrumentation for synchrotron radiation research and later on to the layout of entire facilities. During his academic career at Stanford University and Lund University Professor Lindau supervised more than 60 graduate students to the completion of their Ph.D.'s. He has published more than 600 papers in refereed journals and contributed to 15 books.
Professor Lindau has held a number of administrative positions. From 1977 to 1980 he was Head of the Scientific Staff at SSRL and was then one of its Associate Directors 1980-1990. From 1991 to 1997 he was Director of MAX-Laboratory, a National Swedish Laboratory for Synchrotron Radiation Research located in Lund, and in charge of building up a third generation source. He is one of the founding fathers of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and was its Scientific Director during the formative years. Presently he is a science advisor to SSRL, LCLS and SIMES (Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Research), and the MAX-IV Project in Lund.
Professor Lindau is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He has served and is serving on a large number of advisory committees for national and international faciölities.
